A nice house in Halmstad near to wonderful beaches and nature.

We are a family of four with two adults and one girl aged 20 and one boy aged 18. Ola is an archeologist and Karin is an art teacher. The house we live in is about 125 square meters big, in two floors. On the first floor is a kitchen, a miner dining room, a small bathroom and living room, which have a fireplace. On the second floor you find three bedrooms and a bathroom. There is also two rooms in the basement where you can hang out, see films etc. In the bigger room you find a bedsofa and in the other room, which we also use as an ateljé,´ is a bed.
From the kitchen you can go out to the backyard of the garden, This is a part of the garden with privacy. Here you can use the grill. Garden, growing vegetables and flowers is a main interest for us and we would be happy if you could help watering the plants during a stay. Of course you can also have a taste!
The house is located in a calm and quiet neighborhood, only about 15 minutes walkingdistance from the central part of Halmstad. It´s close to nice walkingpaths along the river Nissan. Halmstad is a popular summer city in Sweden, so there are many nice restaurants and lots of shops in the center of the town. During the stay you can use our two adult bikes and our kids bikes so you easily can move around the citycenter.
Halmstad is known to have some of the best beaches in Sweden and the nearest beach is only a 10 minutes’ drive away from the house. You can choose among long sandy beaches and cliffbathing where you can enjoy snorkling. Let the mood decide!
Close to Halmstad there is also large forests and lakes. For those who are interested there are some fishing opportunities and possibilities to rent small boats and canoes.
During wintertime there are opportunities to enjoy wintersports like crosscountry skiing and skating.
Halmstad is only four miles from Vallåsen Ski Resort.
